It went very well! It was all done in a day. I cannot wait to hire them for my next job. I highly recommend! If you want top quality, hire Sid's!
Description of Work: I needed some landscaping & clean-up done in my front yard due to a plumber leaving me with somewhat of a mess. They cleared all the dirt and clay and layed new sod. I also had Sid's trim a large bush in the front and do some clean-up in the backyard along with laying some new bricks for a border.

Official installation begins soon. Many design changes and sketches later Bill can finally put his pencil down and install lighting and sidewalk pavers!

He has been professional, helpful, punctual and above all-patient with us as we made several changes to materials and design. We officially engaged their services late August.

We've been using them for many years. They are very professional and do quality work, but they are a bit expensive.
Description of Work: We have used Sid's Unlimited Landscaping. They re-contoured a lawn because we had a lot of water issues. They've done landscaping in a sense of planting trees and plants for us as well.

Bill Schaafsma Jr. drew up a detailed contract for us specifying work to be done. The foreman, Randy, and four workmen were hard-working and well-experienced. To start, this was a two-day project. Bill checked in several times each day to see how the work was going. He spoke with us about any questions and concerns we had. On the second day (Friday), they were running late and didn't have enough stone to fully cover all front landscaping beds. We emailed Bill to request more stone, and on Monday part of the original crew returned with more stone to touch up areas where necessary. We appreciated the prompt attention to finishing up the job.
Description of Work: Dismantled, re-leveled, and reinstalled two old, cement block retaining walls around trees in front of house. Removed all old, black vinyl edging around flower beds and replaced it with new edging, in both front and back yards. Raised grade of soil around front wall of house, and topped with additional stone. Added a layer of new stone (top dressed) on all existing flower beds with American Heritage stone in front of house and Stone Bark in back. Installed sod on five small areas of lawn including three areas where two trees and a bush had once stood.

We went in another direction and hired another ladscaping contractor.
Description of Work: I had them bid out the landscaping for a new home I had custom built in the Southwest Suburbs. Their bid was 25 to 50 % higher then any of their compeditors, and in taking to people in the village we got some not so flatteing feedback from people who have used them in the past.

I had been trying to find a special rosebush that we were not able to find anywhere else. Not only did they have this rare rosebush, but they took the time to explain to me, and lead me to where the products that we would need were located. The woman we were talking with also went over the ingredients that were in the product, but why they were good for the plants. She also explained exactly what to do, and not to do. I ended up buying two rosebushes from them, and I couldn't be happier. They were not just trying to sell me things so they could make money. The products have made my roses thrive, and the prices were very reasonable. I definitely would recommend them.
Description of Work: Locating a specific type of rose bush. Discussed with us which products to use to best 'feed' the plants and why. Took a lot of time with us answering questions.

We contacted the store and the owner's son came out to review our project, offer suggestions and give a bid. Since it was still cold outside, we waited awhile to visit the store and select the plants for the project and establish a date for planting. Overall, the whole experience was very pleasant and we would use their services again.
Description of Work: These guys were good! maybe a little pricey, but well worth it. they did everything they said they would in a prompt, efficient, and courteous manner.

My experience was excellent. They came out promptly and were professional. He's always on time, if not early. I received the quote within a few days, but he gives a good estimate right there on the spot. He was able to get his crew out within a couple weeks and they completed in one day. I've been very pleased with his response and work. His prices are very fair. I would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They removed old, overgrown trees from the backyard and replaced them with different bushes. They did edging using materials I already had. They just recently re-sodded my front yard and put in bushes.

We are in the early stages of redoing our back yard. The estimate was delivered promptly, but was on the high side. We are awaiting other estimates. Sid's dug our pond 11 years ago and did a wonderful job, but for a lot less money than they want now for a PaveLock patio.
Description of Work: Estimator was on time, friendly and very competent.

Bud Fisher was very busy in late spring/early summer, but very responsive. Set up a meeting for an estimate in about a week, and came up with great ideas beyond what I had imagined. Met me at the nursery to pick out plants. Then had to wait a month (was warned of delay from beginning). Work was done in one day by a crew- very efficient, cleaned up completely after. I love the results.
Description of Work: Removed old plants, grass from patio. Removed a section of pavers and planted perennials in its place. Planted new bushes, small trees, perennials. Put down a new stone path with stone outcroppers. Mulched and watered.
